Description

Bionic underwater electrochemical driver
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical drive, in particular to a bionic underwater electrochemical driver and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasingly deep exploration of high-risk complex water areas, the defects of heavy weight, high driving voltage, poor environmental adaptability, high noise, easy disturbance of underwater organisms and the like of the traditional underwater driver make it difficult to meet increasingly diversified driving requirements. Thus, it is becoming imperative to discover a flexible drive that can operate underwater. Through long species evolution, underwater organisms have evolved unique vital structures and motile states, which make them have an outstanding survival advantage underwater. The soft body and the strong environment adaptability of underwater organisms provide a new idea for designing an underwater driver. By researching and simulating underwater creatures, the underwater drive with no noise, no cable, independent drive, miniaturization and high maneuverability is expected to be realized. The small flying octopus found by us researchers in recent years is an octopus (6 km below sea level) known to exist in the deepest sea area on earth. Unlike other octopus, it does not achieve propulsion by jetting, but instead relies on the gentle flapping of the body's fins as small as the ears. The low-frequency and high-efficiency driving mode just accords with the idea of designing the underwater driver with low energy consumption and no noise.
Compared with traditional driving modes such as electromagnetic driving, piezoelectric driving, electrothermal driving and the like, the electrochemical driving technology which is widely concerned by researchers at home and abroad in recent years has the characteristics of low driving voltage, strong corrosion resistance, suitability for operation in an extreme underwater environment and the like. The electrochemical actuator converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by generating a chemical reaction. However, there are few reports of electrochemical drives that can be used in underwater operations.
